    Pffft I just started watching this and in the second scene the characters are just walking around in circles just so that there will be movement during the ridiculous amount of exposition.

      Editing … The first episode of Fate/Zero is fucking horrible. The explanation is basically required as there was no way they could've fit it into the series without cutting something important and it would've made no sense without it if you hadn't played the visual novel.

      Editing … Yeah 14 minutes in and I wouldn't be able to tell anyone anything about this show.

      Editing … The explanation is easily sufficient, Fate/Zero was the first thing in the fate universe that I watched and I had no issue understanding but it was just really heavy handed. In retrospect I'm glad they did it this way however. We saw the alternative in Fate/stay night series earlier this year where for several episodes they just explained the same thing over and over in universe style and it was annoying. I'd rather just have the information dump.

      Editing … When I receive large amounts of exposition without feeling any connection to the characters it just goes in one ear and out the other and I don't understand anything.

      Editing … Well you may want to stop watching and watch #Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works first then. You can watch them in either order and the internet argues about what order to watch them in all the time. I personally think you should watch #Fate/Zero first as I believe it's the better show but it was made with the understanding that you would know what was going on with the grail war. If you want to stick it out with Fate/Zero a super simplified version of the exposition is as follows. Holy Grail is an artifact that will grant it's owner a wish. You 'win' the grail by fighting in a battle between 7 chosen mages and their spirit familiars and killing the summoned spirits. This was put in place because in the past armies fighting over it was getting really out of hand and all the mages were dying. The spirits are all famous individuals from history. There is some more specific stuff about the priest and the two other guys but that is explained more as the series goes on anyway. The gist of the first episode is that the priest guy and the mage he is with are going to secretly team up in what is supposed to be a free for all fight.
